7 DEADLY SINS
PRIDE – Which of your attributes or talents are you most proud of?I would have to say my sense of compassion. I have been through alot in my life and it has enabled me to be more empathetic understanding and loving
ENVY – What brings out the green-eyed monster of jealousy in you? This is really hard to answer I am so not a jealous person I guess I would have to say when I see people with babies but it is more a longing then a jealousy
SLOTH – What’s your idea of relaxation?well if I could sleep I would say sleep but since I dont get much sleep I would say either talking on the phone on being online sometimes both at the same time
LUST – Who do you lust after?umm Glenn?
GREED – What was your last budget blow out on?I just replaced a washing machine and a dishwasher
ANGER – What gets your blood boiling?Predjudice I hate it in any form
GLUTTONY – What’s your favourite food?truly depends on the moment and what Im in the mood for but shrimp or shellfish is usually good

Im a wet sore tree whacking mess
I bought a bush trimmer in hopes that I would get my yard looking good and was really hoping that what I bought would only cut limbs from my bushes and trees and not me lol. I was looking at small chainsaws but the thought of using one absolutley terrified me as I dont even have good luck with my riding lawn mower. I have caught it up on my gardens edging and even hit my new car with it. Yes Im dangerous around mechanical equipment but hey Im a woman and thats a mans job lol. Oh yeah I also took down a downed power line with my lawn mower just ask Glenn about that lol. So I was at Lowes yesterday and bought the bushtrimmer which is like a baby chainsaw I read the instructions and safety instructions and as my luck would have it I did get careless and almost had a accident because I was totally not thinking and put my hand in front of the gaurd and umm noticed my finger was only about 2 inches from the blade egads that scare sure opened my eyes I made a mental notation to not do that again as I am kind of attached to my limbs and like it that way. Anyways I did trim the bushes and cut down quite a bit of Florida jungle in my back yard today it looks like hell but the last time I did it with the manual hedge clippers it still looked like hell and this time it was alot easier to get them to look like that

My sister my friend I love you Eileen
My sister Eileen where do I start to tell you about Eileen? Or even more of a monumental task to let you know how much she means to me? Ill start on the morning of November 20 1969 when my mom went to her scheduled OB appointment and her doctor told her to go across the street to the hospital because she was going to give birth that day. I had been at school and saw my grandmother standing there when my two brothers and I got off the school bus and I excitley ran up to Ganny and asked her what she was doing there and she explained Mommy had the baby today and we all chimed in at the same time to ask the most important question we all had "what is it a boy or a girl?" When Ganny said a girl I screamed in delight while my brothers only groaned and walked into the house I was too busy dancing in the driveway and whooping it up I have a sister!!! Thirty six years later I can still honestly say I can still whoop it up I have a sister!! I was nine years and 18 days old when my sister was born and some people might think that that is a huge age difference for siblings to be so close but we were always close and no matter what direction or path our lives take us on we will always be close. The bond of sisters is so special to me I could never explain it to anyone who isnt as close as we are.........its just such a intense love and friendship that is always there and never taken for granted and always appreciated. My life is always better because Eileen was born I cant explain it so Ill just say I love you with all my heart Eileen but you already know that
Yes I am a stale blogger
Oh boy Im a self admitted stale blogger . I wonder if it is because I am also a self admitted procrastinator? Im sure that has oodles and oodles to do with it. It could also be that I have only had a couple of days off from my job this month and when Im off of work Im just too tired to post. Maybe its because I dont think many people actually read my blog so who am I to care if it is stale because I already know its stale lol. Maybe there is no real good reason why its stale and it just is all I know is when I saw on someones blog that I was a stale blogger I almost died laughing and then to read Nancys post today about stale bloggers it was the kick in the pants I needed to get fresh again because I cant think of much of anything thats good stale....well maybe except for stale peeps hehe now off to think of a topic
